Nowhere combines heritage and location quite like the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract in Aswan. Situated on the banks of the Nile, like a terracotta-hued museum piece stuffed with old-world charm, this hotel feels torn straight from the pages of an Agatha Christie detective novel. That's because, in part, it actually is where the legendary crime author penned her Poirot classic, Death on the Nile, in 1937, and sections of the book are set here. Perched on a blush-tinged granite outcrop overlooking the Nile's first cataract (very shallow portions of the river), the hotel was built in 1899 by the famous travel guru Thomas Cook as a nineteenth-century Victorian palace to house European travelers. It has retained its time-honored soul magnificently, and sensitive refurbishments over the decades have created a delicate blend of Moorish, European, and Oriental styles, with an unmistakable Egyptian undercurrent as a subtle tribute to the pharaohs.
Spanning 194,249 square meters on the Red Sea shore, our luxury hotel in Sahl Hasheesh has been carefully designed to allow guests ample space.
